Wolves striker Raul Jimenez is bound to enjoy a goalscoring run at some point in the season, according to journalist Dean Jones.

The Mexican frontman has struggled in front of goal this term and has only scored five times in the Premier League.

How has Jimenez performed this season?

While Wolves are going great guns and firmly in the conversation to qualify for Europe, it's generally been a struggle for Jimenez.

In his two previous full campaigns at Premier League level, he scored 13 and 17 goals respectively, but Jimenez is in danger of failing to reach double figures this time around.

He can be forgiven for needing extra time to find his feet after the sickening head injury he sustained against Arsenal last season, which threatened to end his career and cause him serious damage.

But Jimenez, who cost Wolves £30m back in 2019, has scored just five goals in the top-flight, with only two coming in his last three months of action.

As a result, he was dropped for the recent defeat at West Ham, only coming on with 81 minutes on the clock, although he wasn't able to rescue a result for Wolves.

Regardless, Jones is confident that Jimenez will eventually come good for Bruno Lage, and when he does, it'll improve their chances of fighting for Europe.

What did Jones say about Jimenez?

He told GIVEMESPORT: "Jimenez hasn't really had a goal run either. At some point, he'll have a run, and that will help them make a challenge for those top-six places."

Can Wolves still qualify for Europe?

Heading into the final 10 minutes of their game at Arsenal last Thursday, Bruno Lage's men looked like emerging as serious Champions League contenders.

However, that late collapse, combined with the underwhelming display at West Ham four days later, has left their hopes of qualifying for Europe in serious doubt.

Wolves' fixture list does ease up slightly, with their next six games coming against teams in the bottom-half, but Lage's side have slipped five points behind sixth and seven behind fourth.

They do have games in hand to make up ground once again, but Wolves need to find their mojo, or their brilliant start to 2022 might end up counting for nothing.
